WellSky® Delivers Industry-First Care Coordination Ecosystem to Payers, Enabling Intelligent, Connected Care
Enabling effective whole-person care across acute, post-acute, home, and community settings to drive better member outcomes and enhanced provider experience at a lower cost
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — November 10, 2022 — WellSky, a leading health and community care technology company, today announced that it is disrupting post-acute care management with a technology-first approach that has resulted in reduced readmissions and better member outcomes. The company is advancing post-acute care management by connecting payers to a technology-enabled ecosystem of providers across the continuum to address member’s clinical, functional, and social determinants of health (SDoH) needs.
Currently, payers have little visibility into — or the ability to influence — care transitions and coordination between acute, post-acute, and community care. With this lack of connectivity to providers, payers often find themselves relying on manual processes, operating in highly fragmented environments, and lacking insight into care delivery across these settings. WellSky solves for this by partnering with leading payers to enable proactive whole-person care for both episodic and ongoing post-acute and home-based care management.
“With WellSky, payers can increasingly take a home-first approach, reduce provider abrasion, and unlock capabilities and member insights previously unavailable to them to drive enhanced outcomes,” shared Andy Eilert, president of payer & emerging markets at WellSky. “The result is a better experience for payers, providers, and members; improved outcomes; and a successful transition to value-based models of care.”
WellSky optimizes members’ transitions from acute to post-acute and addresses long-term support services and SDoH needs for members at home. With WellSky’s technology-first solutions and award-winning analytics, payers and providers can oversee clinical, functional, and social factors that impact a member’s health. This results in increased access to actionable insights, seamless coordination of interventions across providers, and improved member outcomes.
“As the system of record for thousands of providers across the continuum, WellSky is uniquely positioned to enable payers with next-generation capabilities, data, and predictive analytics to power a new level of visibility and influence into their members’ care,” said Eilert. “You can’t effectively guide care to the right providers, reduce readmissions, thrive in value-based care, or drive down healthcare costs without an ecosystem that effectively connects stakeholders across the continuum.”
With the shift of care delivery to the home, an aging population, limited caregivers, and siloed providers, WellSky is enabling payers to drive smarter, more connected care and thrive in value-based care arrangements. Health plans working with WellSky have documented a:
- 38% decrease in hospital readmissions;
- 15% savings on skilled nursing facility costs; and a
- 94% community-based organization response rate within accountable networks.
WellSky represents the most complete acute to home network with 2,000 hospitals and 130,000 post-acute and community providers using its solutions.
